Independent votes in LA not counted due to flawed ballot design
I first heard about this on NPR the night of the elections and also noticed it when I was actually at the polls. The presence of a seemingly odd choice on my ballot asking for a selection of voter type: democrat or decline-to-state. It seems that if an Independent (decline-to-state) voter failed to correctly fill in this bubble, then their vote won't be counted.

American Freedom Campaign
The Constitution protects American Freedom. With checks and balances, and basic legal rights, it has prevented tyranny and safeguarded our liberty. Yet today, under the pretense of the "war on terror," the White House is dismantling the Constitution, concentrating power in the President and undermining the rule of law. THIS IS UN-AMERICAN. The American Freedom Campaign is dedicated to confronting and correcting these abuses of our America.
